By Dr V Shanmugasundaram, Mr a Saravana Kumaran, Mr G Joseph

Sustainable Development Goal 11 is a comprehensive volume examining the multidimensional challenges of building inclusive, resilient, and sustainable urban environments. Featuring contributions from distinguished researchers, the collection addresses theoretical foundations and applied policy dimensions of urban sustainability. Chapters explore grassroots social cohesion, community-based disaster management, and low-energy technologies for wastewater treatment. The volume investigates affordable housing in Chennai, governance in Bhopal, and green smart technology. Financial and infrastructural dimensions are analyzed through green municipal bonds, smart infrastructure, and electric mobility, while environmental concerns like e-waste and road dust pollution receive focused attention. Social equity is foregrounded through analyses of educational inequalities and lifelong learning within urban contexts. Edited by Prof. Joseph, Dr. Shanmuga Sundaram, and Prof. Saravana Kumaran, this interdisciplinary work bridges research with policy relevance, serving as a vital reference for shaping resilient cities. This book is part of the Interdisciplinary Book Publication Drive 2026, an initiative of the Office of Research & Development, Madras Christian College, reaffirming our dedication to academic scholarship and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
